The Curated Take
By the Expert Community
The responsiveness and control of the Burton Step On system with the Burton Ruler boot are fantastic and very user friendly. If you hate sitting down to strap in, or if you love the idea of passing by your friends while they are sitting down, then these boots could be for you! The Step On system is great if you want to spend more time on the slopes and get from the lift to the trail quicker. And the Burton Ruler boots are a boot made to shred the resort. If you like ripping up the groomers or just exploring different resorts, then this boot is great for that all mountain kind of trail riding.
The boot has multiple internal adjustments but only a single BOA on the outside, which I'm not a fan of. I'd rather get the double BOA and less on the inside. However, the snugness and adjustability does compliment the Step On system nicely.
Ideal for
- VERY warm
- Excellent responsiveness with Step On system
- Well built, durable, tough boot
Not ideal for
- Really hard on landings, not great for park or jumps
- Lot's of steps to put on and take off the boot. Also difficult to loosen.

Why Did I Wait So Long To Move Over To Step On's?
Originally posted at burton.com on Apr 10, 2023I was a snowboarder some 20 years ago when I didn’t have a care in the world. Ironically, I managed to snap my foot off ice skating with some faulty equipment. Ever since then, having a metal rod in my leg, I’ve not been back to winter sports until I had a child who was interested.
Cue a reason to get my butt back on the snow. Given my penchant for snow accidents, I was very wary. Having used Burton before, I purchased some standard Ruler BOA’s to marry up with a board with some old-version custom bindings. After a few visits to my local indoor snow centre, I realised that a midlife belly and rod in my leg isn’t that conducive to traditional bindings as well as assisting my child with theirs.
For some time, I was looking at the Step On system, and what was holding me back was having to change both boots and bindings at the same time.
Eventually, I took the plunge and purchased a set of Step On BOA Rulers and Re:Flex bindings.
Oh my goodness!
From the second of hearing that click, it was magic. The boots are comfortable enough to wear all day. I honestly can’t believe I didn’t get them sooner.
If you are on the fence, then please take my advice and go for it. Yes, it’s more money than traditional boots and bindings, but you won’t regret it.
The enjoyment levels of boarding have gone up even more. The moment my little one is big enough to fit in them I will be getting her the kids version.

Boots aren’t worth the price

The Best of the Best
5 /5
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kyle and my experience with him on Curated. I’m a pretty hard headed individual and I went into the curation wanting a very specific GNU board. Kyle talked me off that ledge (was far outside my budget) and steered me in the direction of something similar that fit my budget a lot better. I’m stoked about my purchase and am so excited to get out on the slopes!
Kyle was knowledgeable without being arrogant, which is extremely hard to find in the skiing industry. I don’t like to feel pressured into purchasing something without doing my research, and there was no point during our multiple day conversation that he made me feel pressured or rushed. He was patient, kind, and friendly in a way that felt above and beyond for the given task.
If my rave review doesn’t say enough, Kyle seems like a gem of a human. Wishing him and his family all the best!

Super knowledgeable, great experience, tons of options, no pressure… Leo gets it!
5 /5
Skied a fair bit as a kid in the Northeast, then switched to snowboarding when I moved out west 15 years ago, and just getting back into skiing somewhat seriously as my kids are pretty self-sufficient and competent on most runs these days.
We usually rent, but after skiing about 20 days last year, I decided that buying new boots at a minimum was an absolute must. Some days were pure torture… But, I had no idea where to start and was instantly overwhelmed beginning my search on my own.
Enter Leo and Curated. Leo took the time to understand my situation, my skill level, my goals, my preferences, etc. In short order, after I sent back my boot measurements, I received a personalized video with several different options and tons of rationale for my expanded search for skis, bindings, and poles as well. I felt very comfortable that I had a good set of options to choose from for each piece of equipment - with an accompanying wealth of Leo’s deep knowledge and experience to consider as I pondered this large, potential purchase.
I decided to hold off at that point, and Leo made sure I knew he was available to text or chat live as needed - he is super responsive. No pressure at all. I came back to it later the next day, chatted a bit back and forth with Leo, and felt really confident about making the purchase. That’s really saying something given how little I knew about modern ski gear just a night or two earlier.
I highly recommend Leo and will be reaching out to him directly for any future purchases. I won’t hesitate to direct friends and family to him either, and have a hunch my wife will be looking for his help right around the time my new gear hits our doorstep.
Thanks, Leo!

Ryan is very knowledgeable about the tech of snowboards and the areas I frequently snowboard at. He helped me understand the fundamentals about snowboards which helped me in my own independent research. He is super patient and responsive. Additionally, he worked with my budget and snowboarding wants/needs.

I have been wanting to get my own gear since I can remember, having borrowed stuff from my dad and buddies as long as I can remember. However, I waited so long because although I have been boarding for a while, I didn’t know any of the terminology or what brands were good, etc. Kim made this process SO easy, and I am more than confident I will like my gear! 10/10 recommend and if I need to get more stuff I know where I am going

Vincent done did it again! Had a friend refer me and boy was it the best decision ever. Vincent was very knowledgeable and definitely catered to my needs. He didn’t send the most expensive bindings and hoped for the best. I told what I was looking for and delivered. Not one or two options but many options. I definitely recommend him as your expert!

I had insomnia that night and found the Curated for the first time. I was curious about contacting an expert who turned out to be Andrew at 4 AM PST. I expected to get an answer a few hours later since it was in the middle of the night. I turned off my computer and went into bed he responded a few minutes later. Hopefully, I didn't wake him up, or maybe he's on EST time but either way, he's on his game.

I had many questions, and after a few days we finally got stuff figured out. Throughout the whole process he was very helpful and knowledgeable which is defiantly better then going to facebook marketplace. I tried that, but the information from an expert just helps much more. I would defiantly recommend Ryan to other customers.
